this weekend @ sfbc - November 15th



sfbc family,

Thank you for your generosity, God is showing up in "crazy" ways through your love and gifts this fall. Thank you for giving to World Hunger, so far our church has received more than $6,000 for this offering and we still have about 40 jars of change to count! Absolutely Awesome! This is the largest World Hunger offering we have ever received. Remember 100% of this offering helps combat hunger in our world. Thank you for bringing peanut butter for the Magnolia CP Church food ministry. Our church has given over 90 jars of peanut butter to help this ministry feed families in our area. Operation Shoeboxes are already showing up at Church, I really believe we are going to reach our goal of 100 boxes. Remember this Sunday is the day to bring them to church! We must get them to the area drop off next week for delivery to Samaritan's Purse.
Please don't forget the Crazy Love offering on November 29th. This offering will bless our ministry in many ways, we need everyone to participate in some way. We have asked for much this fall and God has shown up and is still coming through. I believe, we are going to be amazed at what God will do through this time of giving thanks and giving back to Him!

We are preparing for our annual Community Thanksgiving meal. There are many ways you can help in this important ministry from cooking, to set up or delivery, and by providing names of people who might like a meal on Thanksgiving Day. The goal of this ministry is to provide a Thanksgiving meal to people or families that might be alone, homebound, or just wouldn't have Thanksgiving dinner without it. If you know a person who would like a meal on Thanksgiving please stop by the welcome center and provide their name, address, phone number, and number of meals needed. See Sandy Kidd for information about the meal or how you can help. We will be sharing more about this ministry on Sunday.

Sunday night at 7pm, we will have a special business meeting to name a planning committee that will look into the possibility of adding a kitchen, storage and space to our fellowship hall. This committee will then bring a recommendation to the church in the future. This is a real need for ministry, the larger kitchen and the addition of space would be a big help for fellowship and ministry.

God things are happening at South Fork, hope you will get connected this weekend,
See you Sunday,
Bro Norm
